I can fit into the chair at work easily now! This is the same chair that was so tight during the interview that I ended up sitting on the side of my thigh more so than square on my butt in order to fit!

My clothes fit better!

I'm doing this regardless of what the scale says!

I can wear my purple bra!

I'm a few pounds away from 40 lbs gone!

I can't wait to hear everyone else's! You folks are so awesomely inspiring!

__________________Back in August 2013, I convinced myself to give my plan a shot until October 31, 2013. I told myself then that, when that date came, I would be grateful I had committed myself to losing weight. Sure enough, when October 31, 2013 came, I was deeply grateful and pleased with my progress. It's been 19 months and over 115 lbs lost, and I remain deeply grateful every day. There are no words to explain how worth it the hard work is. Reached onederland 31.12.2013!
Became 'overweight' (BMI of 29.7) on July 29, 2014!

namaste984 I've checked out your blog, and I find your determination to keep working out to be very inspiring. I'm going to start working out again tomorrow because of you; we have very similiar body types and I want to do as well as you have.

I had a shirt with no buttons, from last year,,, loved it,,,, in May this year I tried wearing it,, it wldnt go down my shoulder, i tugged and tugged and tugged, got my arms thrOUGH but i felt as if id choke due to lack of air and im sure my circulation had been cut off I was so sad and ashamed of myself that i had a nice long cry after that episode

Andddddddddddddd, i tried it on yesterday, and it fits perfectlyyyyyyy!!!!!!! (im just happy it didnt tear when i was wrestling with it in May, hehehehe)

HelloNurse, Thank you for starting this thread. I looked for a NSV thread yesterday but did not take the time to start one.

I loved reading all your NSVs. They are all very uplifting and encouraging!

This weekend I bought size 16 petite pants. I am short and have always wanted to buy clothes in the Petite section of stores. This was my first purchase from a Petite department! Someday I will be buying most of my clothes from that department.

Yay for NSVs! Mine was that I had to go bra shopping this weekend. I knew I had gone down at least a size (and I was thinking that I'd probably have to hook it on the first set of hooks for it to work) but then I got fitted and realized I had gone down two band sizes.

One of my coworkers, a regular gym rat, noticed how hard I've been working. He said that he noticed how much I've changed already and that I'm looking really good. Also, people who I don't see very often have stopped me in the hospital hallway and asked "It's been bugging me, what's different about you?"

I had a huge NSV today! Biked 12.06 miles, beating my dad at time and mileage! (By almost 2 miles). Also have only 2 pairs of jeans out of 10 that fit me! I tried to put on an old pair of pants to run an errand and they almost fell off in the store. Thankfully, I saved myself from that embarrassment (literally, lol).

This week my boss gave me a pair of bright coral capri jeans. Holding them up she said they were a size 16. I'm a size 22 and gracefully accepted the jeans commenting that they would make great goal pants. That night I tried them on and they fit!!!! I wore them to work a couple days later and got so many compliments - what a feeling. May have to do some shopping!!
